Paola's Cosa Nostra

The overall environment is nice, though the outdoor seating is a bit uncomfortable since the seats are quite hard. The indoor area, however, is much better. The food quality is excellent, and the coffee was especially good. It’s a bit expensive, but we got a 50% discount with a BOP card, which made it worth it. The staff is friendly, but it’s best to reserve a table a day in advance as the place is usually full.

Authentic Italian Cuisine that does the food as well as the ambiance. Absolutely delicious food. Portion sizes are generous. Some of the best gelatos I tried. Matcha flavor was so good.

I recently tried the Roman Holiday Buffet, and it turned out to be quite an impressive experience overall. The pastas were undoubtedly the highlight of the evening — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. You simply won’t find pastas of this caliber anywhere else in Lahore; each bite reflected authentic Italian craftsmanship. The meat selection was solid, offering good variety and well-cooked options, though nothing particularly groundbreaking. The antipasti, however, felt a bit underwhelming — perhaps a case of our local palates not being fully attuned to traditional Italian flavors just yet. The desserts, on the other hand, were a delight — beautifully presented and indulgent without being overwhelming. Overall, the Roman Holiday Buffet delivers a refined and authentic Italian experience with a few minor misses. A strong 9/10.

This was my first time trying this place which had a great ambiance. I was excited about Cacio e Pepe but it wasn't that good. It was bland and was just not enough cheese which i asked them to fix and they did. I also tried their Penne Carbonata which was better than Cacio e Pepe. It was creamy and flavorful. For their starters, i tried their shaved beef and permesan. It was great in taste and everything in it was good. Overall I'll rate it 6/10 for food.

I recently visited this place after quite a while, and it was such a pleasant surprise! We ordered a mix of fast food and continental dishes, and honestly, everything was worth every penny. We started off with some comforting starters that immediately set the tone for a great meal. For the mains, we tried the chicken steak, fish and chips, club sandwich, smash burger, and pizza salamela, each dish was flavorful, well presented, and cooked to perfection. To end on a sweet note, we had a trio of desserts, pistachio ice cream, cheesecake, and a walnut tart, all of which were absolutely mind blowing. The desserts alone are reason enough to visit! I also tried their cappuccino, which was decent, though not the highlight compared to the food. Overall, a fantastic experience with great value for money. Plus, they offer discounts on various credit and debit cards, which is always a nice bonus. Definitely coming back soon!
